this thread is about what you really wanna do, that dream that you've always had in your heart but have been like "nah, thats stupid" or "nah, thats impossible." mine is to study pharmacy and work for a hospital or something, so i dont have to deal with the moral dilemma of working for a pharmaceutical company, and hopefully i will avoid SOME of the boredom of working at Rite Aid or CVS. i dont want to get married, so i plan to save a lot of money and then open a small pornography studio and then grow large enough to have enough money to operate nonprofit and dispense funds to charity organizations I have personally established.
im hoping you guys dont just dismiss this thread, cause i am actually interested in hearing what people would like to do. clearly my dream mixes imagination, real ambition, and complete fantasy...and i think it would be really interesting to hear what other people would like to do IDEALLY.

i want to start an animation studio and revolutionize the animation industry
-
My real dream would be to open up a raw vegan cafe. Not a full blown restaurant but a cafe and juice bar with a little health store or something. Since that probably won't happen my other dream is to study Anthropology in school (which I will be doing) and work with Native Americans. The school I'm going to doesn't have a Native American Studies program so I'm minoring in Chinese studies (which I also enjoy very much) and I hope to do something with that.

this is really cool. i would really like to get into animation, and i actually can draw half way decent, i just lack the motivation to ever do it. but for every artistic idea i have, i envision it animated rather then written or drawn. for instance, right now, for halloween (and very GW inspired) my vision is a misinterpreted very spooky and grim ghoul poet who wants to be a very grim and spooky ghast, and his whole struggle for that. but if you take that literally its very uninteresting but in an animated short i think it would me great!

i think the idea of people opening business because they love what they do is great. thats what business should be: making a living by providing a desired product that you care about. that way if you care you are providing a good service, and hopefully a living, and also fulfilling your need for a place in the world.

What do you mean that probably won't happen. That sounds like a great idea; you should totally go for it.
Actually, I was thinking about managing a restaurant/hotel when I'm older. I'd like to set up shop next to a good hiking spot, and give out all-you-can-eat passes. I've always thought it would be a great idea to eat, then go for a walk to walk off the sludgy, fatty feeling, then maybe come back in for another bite or dessert. This would totally be in Canada, btw. I really don't know why, but it will.
Another thing. I want to become a rockstar lawyer engineer + education and disabled rights activist.

Couple of reasons:
1. My town is small and the towns by me are not really into the health thing as much as other places (lol California). I don't know if I'd want to move and if I did move to a place like Cali then it's like lol already done lots of these places.
2. I don't have anyone to do it with. The only friends I have that are into this are all online friends that I've met a couple of them once or twice but they all live in different states.
3. I know nothing about this and I'm not going to school for being a chef or anything with business.
4. I like to make food I probably would hate doing the behind the scenes stuff.
-
1. Ugh avoid moving to Cali, at least until the government resolves its financial problems. Otherwise, it's just too expensive to live here + own a business, in general. At any rate, perhaps you can hit the local colleges? Plenty of college people are right-minded enough to enjoy a good vegan meal, if the atmosphere is right and they can study or something. Your idea could also flourish in a big city, buuut that comes with a huge trade-off.
2. Meh, keep your eyes open. Maybe you'll find some cute chick who would totally dig working with you on this.
3. Hopefully aforementioned chick did culinary arts.
4. And hopefully she doesn't mind doing the paperwork.
-
1. move someplace where there's a call for this stuff and isn't already filled with similar cafes
234 these are good reasons forget it.
if you lived at a reservation or something couldn't you pretty easily mae food for people in a cafe setting i dunno
-
and i dunno what the limitations on raw are (tofu burgers y/n?) but expanding just a little in that direction might pay off. here's what the one bac home does:
http://www.goodeatzgreencafe.com/
also consider the lunch truc/cart setup instead of a cafe. possibly the easiest solution bc you can run the business and coo at the same time. and you could possibly start with a lunch cart and wor your way into a permanent location if you wanted

There's this old hippie that comes into the store I work at and chats with our boss, sometimes. He says he was married to the Campbell's (sp?) soup heiress, but divorced her cause she wasn't the right woman. Could very well be a lie. :fogetshrug:
but on a related note, I always wanted to be a patron for some of my friends if I get a solid career. There is so much wasted wealth in the US. just thinking how much money every family would have if everyone worked but the whole family lived together like in some other countries. so much wealth is wasted on the masturbatory concept of "i made it on my own" in the US.

I'm at uni and I'm mainly doing film studies and english, but as much as these subjects are pretty entertaining I know I'm not actually learning anything. It's free, for me, cos I'm in Scotland so I'm not losing anything but time, really. I would love to make a TV show or a movie, or contribute to one, but there's the usual that's not gonna happen and also it's really egotistical and uh, if that's the only reason I'm doing this then that is really boring and irritating of me. This is my second attempt at a degree though, I'm 21 now. That's old for this crap, right?
I think I would feel better if I found a job I could be proud of that a master of arts degree would help me get.
-
I'd like to be a god-like being.
But seriously, When I was a really young kid I figured I'd be an architect. Then, after I realized how into video games I was, a video game designer/programmer.
I just want to make/create things that are more than just something cool to look at, something functional (like a building) or something fun (Like a video game).

umm i am in my mid 20's getting my 2nd degree right now. There are like two people my age that I've met. Everyone is either wicked old 30-40 year olds realizing they don't want to be an office assistant for the rest of their lives and mostly young as hell spring chickens being away from mom&dad for the first time
-
yeah i know there are older people at uni but that's a different thing entirely. if i was 35 i don't think i'd really give much of a crap about HEY I'M A LITTLE LATE LET'S FACEBOOK, and actually that's not even what i'm worried about now, i just meant that i have been screwing around for a couple of years and i'm still not even 70% sure about what i'm doing. what i'm saying is i don't want to waste any more time and then panic at how much of my life i have wasted later.
and you're getting your second degree, this is my first. i didn't complete my first attempt. and you've got a specific purpose for going, and your course is one that leads directly to places.
-
Idk man I think it's actually a good thing to get your degree at an older age because I guess you have experienced LIFE a little more and not been stuck in that education shell your whole life. Like I think at that point you have a stronger sense of what you want to do with your life because you have actually been in the ditch long enough to make your own independent decision about bettering yourself. And I'm not saying this can only be done through school I'm just pretty sure there's a high percentage of people who go straight from highschool to uni or something and end up getting a degree and a job and end up hating because they never really stopped and asked themselves what they wanted besides the typical job with a steady paycheck so they can own a house and pay bills and be miserable until they start a family and have a goal to actually strive for.
I guess a better way to explain would be whenever somebody asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I told them I always got this kind of vibe that they felt this kid (me) hadn't been hit with with the cruel reality of what the world really hands out to you and while a lot of pictures are painted pretty nothing's ever as pretty as their picture makes you believe, if that makes sense. Like who gives a fuck about where you work it's going to suck and you are going to hate it and the grass is always greener blah blah blah. So I think it's pretty noble to go after something you hope and dream for but if you already think nothing is going to come from it why go do it? Unless you just want the knowledge and experience you get from it which is fine but I think this is something you really have to ask yourself because while I think most of us here are young enough to kind of put it off for another few years the future is going to just get bleaker the more you do. And I kind of direct this to anyone who is at any point in their lives whether you are working a shit job or going to uni for a 4 year degree or something, are you really thinking ahead here? The question every teenager hates is "where do you want to be in 10 years, 20 years?" People kind of blow it off and just think a few steps further then where they are at now, set themselves down a path and follow it to the best they can. Idk I guess what I'm trying to get at here is when plans fall through it really stinks and maybe you don't have a plan you are just kind of coasting and that stinks too. I think its essential to take a few days maybe even a few months to meditate on what you want your life to be because it's too short lived and while it's never too late to change the clock never stops and never goes backwards. I think if you want to be successful at anything you need to clear any doubts you have in your mind about what you want or what you are doing.
Whoops I kind of went on a rant here :shrug: :words:
-
I am planning on at least 2 years of having real-life experience before going back to graduate school at the very least (doing who knows what? I want to be an EMT for at least a year and do something like that full time, and then chances are that I'll be living overseas working with a volunteer program or something like that with my gf), and I think if I didn't do those things, I would get really burnt out in school, and would probably end up losing a lot of money otherwise.
-
i don't think clearing all doubts is attainable.
i'm just worried that for me to feel like i'd be justified in going ahead with this life i've vaguely planned out, i'd need to be pretty damn successful to feel like I had done the right thing. by 21 feeling kind of old i meant it would be a bit insane for me to suddenly say hey, i am a chemistry guy now i'm changing lanes here. everything seems very appealing until i'm actually strapped in - that's just the way i am and i know enough now not to let me panic and qui
you know what? never mind. i'm fine. i'm just airing out some of the usual doubts i have about my choices but really that's just for me to go over. all is well.
-
Yeah, I don't think it's really possible to clear all doubts about that sort of thing. Unless you are doing something that you really don't have to have doubts for in the first place. Eg: I have no doubts that If I could make a living playing nothing but video games and guitar, then I would totally do it, but since that doesn't exist, I'll go for something that I have some doubts about but maybe can make some money off of too.
-
First thing I thought of when I saw the title of this thread btw.
-
To travel the world and see a lot of places and different cultures. I've never been out of the Netherlands, except for a trip to Belgium and a trip to London, so I'd love to see some other places.
The rest of my hopes and dreams are unrealistic and incompatible with the logic of this world, so that's too bad. One other dream I had was to own my own gamedesign company, but I gave that up a while ago.
-
This is an amazing dream. Reach for the stars man
One time I got a call from a college recruiter from a school I knew I didn't want to go to. When he asked me what I wanted to do for a living I told him that dream.
He sounded horrified but I thought it was hilarious.
-
making cool sci fi shit and getting paid for it. i want to be a profbut thats pretty hard so ive been thinking of being a physics theorist for industry (think about gizmos and get paid for it)
-
I am currently chasing my life dream of making music!
I'll let everyone know just how horrible an idea following your hopes and dreams can be soon enough I'm sure!
-
to be honest, i dont know what my hopes/dreams are. I GUESS they revolve around music/art. But a lot more heavily on the music side of things, I dont even know why I am doing my course sometimes... and then i remember the parties.
i am often making musics, some people think I am good on the guitar, working on a space album(as always). Music's like my last passion left.

Hey Marmot, what is that you are studying? I know it's physics, but are you an undergrad/grad student, specialising in something, in which university blahblah?
I'm curious because I'm considering doing a PhD in physics in some years time in States/UK/abroad/cool places and because I'm an overplanner I'm harvesting all the information I can get about anything related.
Whoops I accidentally answered the opening post as well.
